Miles Teller is opening up about losing his home in the Los Angeles wildfires.
In an interview with E! News, the actor shared how close friends have been helping him and his wife Keleigh Teller after their Pacific Palisades home burned down when the Palisades Fire swept through their community.
“Many people have reached out, just either letting us know that they’re there emotionally or people are offering us their place,” Miles said. “I’m a Deadhead, and so I’ve had a lot of people reach out to Keleigh like, ‘I want to send Miles a Grateful Dead shirt.’”
“Little stuff just means a lot, so it’s been very heartwarming,” he added.
Keleigh Teller had shared on her Instagram the last photo she took of their home as they were evacuating.
“To everyone reaching out I can’t thank you enough, your kind hearts have meant the world, I’ll never forget them,” she wrote in the post’s caption. “Community has come out stronger than I could imagine, Pacific Palisades I love you beyond measure; you are a little slice of heaven, we will come back stronger than ever.”
Keleigh also shared an image of their home after being burnt down and a photo of their neighborhood, before and after the Palisades Fire.
“If you’re in the LA area PLEASE get out if you can. I wish I grabbed my wedding dress .. wish I did a lot different but it doesn’t matter, stay safe, get out. there are no words,” she added in her post. “THANK YOU to the first responders fighting.”
Teller said that the grief of losing their home has come “in waves.”
“When everything goes and you have each other, it’s very emotional,” Miles told E! News. “You lose your home, you’re part of a club nobody wants to be a part of. We know it’s not an immediate sense of relief. And so, we’re just there for one another.”
Teller is set to star alongside Anya-Taylor Joy on the film, The Gorge, which premieres globally on Apple TV+ Feb. 14.
The Tellers family are among the many whose homes were destroyed in the wildfires, including stars such as Mandy Moore, Jeff Bridges, Billy Crystal, Anna Faris, Cary Elwes, Paris Hilton, Milo Ventimiglia, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, and more.
After 24 days the Eaton and Palisades fires are now 100 percent contained. At least 29 people were killed in the two fires.
